None of the links newer than /c/chicago work

wait is the “to crush your enemies” thing really a genghis khan thing? I always thought it was a Conan the Barbarian thing

That doesn’t get all the snow slush off, I’d much rather just not wear my boots indoors.

I live here and: its bad.

I’m going to end up being one of the “overbearing” people that insists people take their shoes off I think, as I get older. I had a few people over and none of them took their shoes off this summer and they tracked dirt and shit all over that I then had to clean up. And I’m definitely no neat freak, not at all, but I don’t want rocks and dirt and road salt and puddles and etc all over my floors, I walk on those floors, mostly barefoot or in socks.

maybe its less bad in places that don’t get much snow or rain and have perfectly manicured sidewalks (lol) but idk that still means trashing your floors or carpets with grit and tracking nasty road dust inside and such, I don’t get why anyone would ever lol

I take my shoes off even when people insist I don’t have to, unless its somehow so dirty that I really need them. it’s just wrong lol, They don’t know where my shoes have been

I think maybe it comes from many people in the US driving everywhere. Your shoes only touch the parking lot/driveway, and only briefly, whats the big deal. If you’re only ever going from your own garage to another indoor parking garage even moreso.

In 2017, the governors of all fifty U.S. states signed a statement describing their opposition to the BDS movement, stating that the BDS movement’s “focus on the Jewish State raises serious questions about its motivations and intentions” and that the governors “strongly condemn the BDS movement as incompatible with the values of our states and our country.”[14]
